La Juanda (Espanola)

(album: One Dozen Berrys - 1958)

In Baya California, down in Tijuana
La senorita come to me, she say: 'Mi nombre es Juanda'
I asked her would she care to dance, she looked at me and said: 'Como esta?'
I say: 'Hablo solo en Espanol y no comprendo Ingles'
'I speak only the language of English, I don't understand Espanol'.

For a moment I took a notion then I went into a dancing motion
She nodded her head: 'Yo mucho gusto' she said and she danced with more devotion
When her cheek came close to mine, I could hear her softly whisper
She said: 'Habla solo la langua de Ingles y no comprenda Espanol'
'I speak only the language of English, I don't understand Espanol'.

She placed her hand before my heart and she whispered: 'Yo te amora'
With half, closed eyes she raised her lips and she said: 'Besame ahora'
She hold me close and she squeeze me tight and she whispered: 'Yo quiero ahora'
I say: 'Hablo solo la langua de Ingles, no comprendo Espanol'
'I speak only the language of English, I don't understand Espanol'.
